Maroon clown for free

[ade]

I have a maroon clown that I need to find a home for.
FREE but you must pick.
I have a mated pair that I would like to place in that tank.
Once again FREE.

I have a large maroon in my 55. Do you think they would get along. I tend to think they might battle to the death.

You would need to add a small, juvenile maroon clown to go with your larger female. The juvenile would then become a male. Once they've become a female they're not likely to get along with another female.

Yes they would fight.
Then we would be on the news about illegal clown fighting.

Jorge , When I paired up some maroons what I did was ordered one as small as possible and then , it took about 2 weeks to get them to co-exist ...

In the case of Ades Maroon I would say anyone who has no other clowns allready should pick it up and then down the line try to pair it with a much smaller one....

I had a thread about this very subject here...

Some good info there as well as in the Clown forums...

Ade i will take him if noboby wants it.

I am interested, I have always wanted one my only concern being that he would move around rocks and stuff in my tank. Is it possible to combine him with oscillaris?

 

[NbMaxx13]

Mixing the 2 would most likely end up in the Oc. losing out. Mixing clowns is warned against in all but the largest of systems...
Also , of all the species one of the most aggresive toward other clowns is the Maroon.

Yeah thats what I thought, I will pass on this. I am going to try and get a school of clowns in my tank I think.

 

[NbMaxx13]

Even a school of clowns may be dificult. . More than 2 is taking a risk ... I think depending on the size of the aquarium of course... I had 3 percs and eventually they started bullying. This of course is just one story , I am posisitve you will find some who have kept more.... Check out the clown forums here ... Keep us posted as to what you decide..

As they mature, that'll result in a fight to the death until only two are left.

Sorry the free clown fish decided to stay put. No moving for the clown.
My mated pair of YSM clown found a bigger home.
